Wichita hospitals report more than a dozen people came to their ER's late Friday and early Saturday with fireworks-related injures.

Via Christi Saint Francis says 14 people showed up with various injuries. Four of those were serious enough to be admitted, while the others were treated for their injuries and released.

Wesley Medical Center reports two more people came into their ER with injuries from fireworks.

The most serious injury happened in Andover Friday night. Something went wrong at a professional fireworks display at Terradyne Country Club near Central and 159th Street East. There was a large explosion on the ground and a 40 year-old female was critically hurt. The unidentified person was rushed to a Wichita hospital, but her name has not been released.
